"friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'what! you too? i thought i was the only one!'"
- c.s. lewis (british scholar and novelist, 1898-1963)
Real friendship is a rare thing. We should cherish it, care for it. And this friend makes good photos as well. I don't know exactly where, but the photo is taken in the Netherlands. No doubt about that.
I always take great delight in reading about the times you and Rachel spend together (having been reading your sites for about the same length of time). :)
Yes, Pieterbie: this is in the middle of Amsterdam, in 'de Jordaan', which used to be a rather poor part of the town, but is now rather fashionable. And yes, Rachel has a very nice, shy smile!
I guess they say that the eyes are windows into the soul...i can't help but think of that as my eye goes from her's to all the wonderful windows and back again. Lovely.
Echt een prachtige warme foto tijdens een kille dag. Recht uit het hart. p.s. lynn, ik ben za. voor een maand naar de dom. rep., lijkt me leuk om daarna een keer te gaan fotograferen. Groeten! Jeroen
She has a smile I would love to see across from me in a cafe after I lift up my head from looking into my steaming cup of black coffee.
